I’m so far behind so will have to make my posts short in order to catch up. If I ever do. November was a really hard month for me.

      I know! They’d only been in it for a couple of months…their first home. I’m so grateful that all three of them got out safely.

    There is always light somewhere–that is so true.

    One of the blessings of birdwatching in the winter is fewer leaves to hide behind.

    Aue, your niece’s hale. The bomb cyclone was fierce. My stepdaughter and her family didn’t have power for a week, but at least they had a home to return to.

      You’re so right about fewer leaves to see all the birdies in winter. It’s fun to see them more easily for sure.

      Yeah, that bomb cyclone was something else. My niece, her husband, and their baby just barely got out with only a few scratches. Now comes the hard part about working with the insurance company so they can rebuild.
